Thomas Laboratoire d'Hydrobiologie, Université Paul Sabatier 118 route de Narbonne, 31062 Toulouse Cedex, France. Little known lotie Diptera: european and circum-mediterranean Athericidae and Rhagionidae - The author presents long term biological and ecological results about littleknown Diptera Brachycera living in streams and their use as bioindicators. Lotie Rhagionidae larvae belong all to the genus Chrysopilus and, in comparison to edaphic species, are caracterized with a strong stigmates size and tracheal trees reduction. Athericidae larvae present some exceptional trophic adaptations. The main ecological factors restraining them are substratum stability and water temperature, usually high in summer. All known studied species show a strong trend to collective oviposition. Jusqu'à Stuckenberg (1973), ont été réunis sous le nom de Rhagionidae des Diptères de morphologie et de biologie très différentes. En réalité, les caractères de cette famille restaient assez mal définis et l'ensemble manquait d'homogénéité. Quant à la division en sous-familles, quelque peu différente suivant les auteurs, elle était plus discutable encore. Le travail de Stuckenberg (t.c), effectué sur la morphologie et l'anatomie des imagos, a mis en évidence un petit groupe de genres présentant des relations phyléti- ques nettes avec les Tabanidae. L'auteur a ainsi proposé de créer une nouvelle famille regroupant le genre Atherix et des formes voisines: les Athericidae. L'étude de la morphologie et de la biologie des larves confirme la nécessité de cette séparation. LES RHAGIONIDAE SENSU STRICTO À LARVES AQUATIQUES (LOTIQUES) Habitat Classiquement, les larves de cette famille sont considérées comme «terrestres», c'est-à-dire édaphiques plus ou moins hygrophiles ou, plus rarement, capables de coloniser des tissus végétaux en décomposition. Seule, la larve de Chrysopilus auratus (Fabricius, 1805) avait parfois été rencontrée dans des berges de cours d'eau (Tsacas, 1962), des sources ou dans l'habitat madi- cole (rochers suintants: Vaillant, 1955). En réalité, en Europe occidentale et en particulier dans le Sud-Ouest de la France, deux autres espèces de Chrysopilus peuvent être considérées comme franchement aquatiques et même lotiques: Ch. erythrophthalmus (Loew, 1840) dont la larve n'a été découverte que récemment (Thomas, 1978) et Ch. torrentium Thomas, 1978. L'habitat des larves est constitué: - pour Ch. torrentium par les fonds de pierres des ruisseaux et torrents de moyenne et basse altitude, relativement chauds l'été. 1 Présenté dans le cadre du «Symposium d'Entomologie aquatique» lors de l'Assemblée annuelle de la S.E.S. les 23 et 24 mars 1985 à Lausanne. 449 - pour Ch. erythrophthalmus par les fonds de pierres et les Bryophytes aquatiques (en particulier Eurynchium riparioides) des ruisseaux et torrents froids de moyenne altitude. Dans les deux cas, il ne s'agit pas d'espèces simplement ripicoles car les larves peuvent être régulièrement prélevées sous une hauteur d'eau de quelques dizaines de cm, hors crues, et en plein lit à une distance des berges de plusieurs mètres. Dans les élevages, les larves âgées supportent très facilement des immersions de plus d'un mois sans avoir accès à la surface de l'eau. Voici quelques uns des taxas strictement aquatiques trouvés dans les mêmes prélèvements et donc faisant partie des mêmes biocénoses que les larves de Chrysopilus (dét. C. Berthelemy, H. Décamps et A. Thomas): - avec Ch. torrentium: Baetis lutheri. B. rhodani. Epeorus torrentium, Ephemerella ignita (Ephémérop- tères); Brachyptera risi, B. seticornis, Protonemura beatensis. P. intricata, P. praecox, P. pyrenaica. Amphinemura sulcicollis. Perla burmeisteriana. Siphonoperla torrentium (Plécoptères); Rhyacophila dorsalis. Chimarra marginata (Trichoptères). - avec Ch. erythrophthalmus: Baetis alpinus. B. rhodani. Ecdyonurus angelieri. Habroleptoides berthelemyi (Ephéméroptères)". Brachyptera rìsi. B. seticornis. Protonemura intricata. Nemoura fulviceps. Périodes microcephalus. Siphonoperla torrentium (Plécoptères); Rhyacophila evoluta. Rh. moczaryi. Rh. tristis. Hydrophsyche instabilis. H. pellucidula. Philopo- tamus montanus. Micrasema minimum. M. morosum (Trichoptères). Morphologie des larves: adaptations à la vie en immersion Les larves ont un aspect d'asticot mais elles sont plus longues (elles peuvent atteindre 25 mm) et plus minces. Elles sont blanc jaunâtre et subcylindriques, amincies vers l'extémité antérieure. Le corps, à tégument épais, ne porte pas de pseudopodes abdominaux rétractables, mais seulement des bourrelets locomoteurs ventraux transversaux, complètement dépourvus d'épines ou de soies sauf sur le dernier segment. Dans la région postérieure, s'ouvrent deux gros stigmates, entre quatre lobes terminaux, deux dorsaux et deux ventraux. On observe un gradient morphologique entre les trois espèces. Ch. torrentium occupe en effet une position intermédiaire entre l'espèce d'origine édaphique (Ch. auratus) et la forme la plus torrenticole (Ch. erythrophthalmus): - on relève une diminution importante de la taille des stigmates chez les deux espèces franchement lotiques: au dernier stade larvaire, ceux-ci sont circulaires et d'un diamètre de 155 à 170 um chez ces dernières (Planche I, 2 et 3), alors qu'ils sont ovales et mesurent de 270 à 290 um sur le grand axe chez Ch. auratus (Pl. I, 1). Il en résulte aussi une sensible diminution du nombre des pores périphériques. La surface (section) des troncs trachéens principaux est diminuée de 85% dans le dernier segment chez Ch. erythrophthalmus et Ch. torrentium par rapport à Ch. auratus. - par contre, les lobes terminaux sont de plus en plus longs et donc de plus en plus mobiles - et ainsi susceptibles de protéger les stigmates en se refermant - dans la série auratus - torrentium - erythrophthalmus. Ces caractères sont autant d'adaptations à la vie en immersion par réduction des risques de pénétration d'eau dans les troncs trachéens. D'autre part, chez Ch. erythrophthalmus. le long bourrelet préanal épineux des deux autres (Pl. I, 4 et 5) fait presque entièrement défaut. 450 Appareil buccal: régime alimentaire L'appareil buccal est de type perforant suceur (Tsacas, 1962) avec un complexe maxillo-mandibulaire massif (Pl. I, 6) qui participe aussi, chez les espèces édaphiques, à la locomotion (les protubérances de la lacinia sont fréquemment très usées). La mandibule, épaisse et robuste, ne possède pas de canal interne mais une simple cannelure latérale, ce qui diminue à la fois l'efficacité de l'injection anesthésiante sur les proies et le rendement de la prise de nourriture: cette dernière se fait par aspiration des tissus, surtout musculaires, liquéfiés (digestion partiellement extra-orale). Malgré des mouvements lents, les larves de Chrysopilus sont de redoutables prédateurs, capables de tuer d'autres formes zoophages (Tabanidae, Athericidae de taille équivalente ou supérieure). Lorsque les proies sont de petit diamètre relatif (Oligochè- tes, Chironomides), la région thoracique s'enroule autour de la victime avant la perforation. Nymphose Les nymphes, brun rougeâtre, sont fortement chitinisées et peu mobiles. Elles portent des couronnes de crochets de fixation sur l'abdomen. La nymphose, aérienne, a en effet lieu sur un support émergé - par migration des larves jusqu'à 2 m au dessus de l'eau - le plus souvent d'origine végétale (Bryophytes bordants). Répartition Jusqu'à maintenant, des larves de Chrysopilus aquatiques ont été récoltées dans plus de trente cours d'eau des Pyrénées,

  • RECORDERS NEWSLETTER ISSUE 6 – October 2008
    Biodiversity Information Service Recorder Newsletter – Issue 6 – October 2008 RECORDERS NEWSLETTER ISSUE 6 – October 2008 Welcome to the sixth edition of the Powys and Brecon Beacons National Park recorders newsletter. Many thanks to all those that have contributed articles for this issue. Perhaps this edition should be labelled ‘a mammal and invertebrate issue’. I can assure you that this has not been by design. As always, articles reflect the wide variety of recording interest and pro- jects being undertaken. Although most of us are focused on our own recording interests, be it bats, birds, botany or bugs, reading other people’s articles and efforts in this newsletter always really inspires me further. Even more so when recorders come together on recorders’ days. Surely there’s only a certain amount that anyone can learn from books, journals and the web! I’ve always been a great enthusiast for learning from other people in the field. Despite the awful weather this season, the BIS Recorders Field Meetings have proved a successful way to get together, vis- it a new area that perhaps you may not get the chance to, and of course provides extremely useful records for everyone. If anyone has ideas of sites that would benefit from a recorders day visit next year, we would like to hear from you. Our next big event is the BIS Recorders’ Forum on 22nd November (see notice in this is- sue). It’s a couple of years since we all got together at the last Forum, so one to look forward to with plenty of things to catch up on.

  • Ceh Code List for Recording the Macroinvertebrates in Fresh Water in the British Isles
    01 OCTOBER 2011 CEH CODE LIST FOR RECORDING THE MACROINVERTEBRATES IN FRESH WATER IN THE BRITISH ISLES CYNTHIA DAVIES AND FRANÇOIS EDWARDS CEH Code List For Recording The Macroinvertebrates In Fresh Water In The British Isles October 2011 Report compiled by Cynthia Davies and François Edwards Centre for Ecology & Hydrology Maclean Building Benson Lane Crowmarsh Gifford, Wallingford Oxfordshire, OX10 8BB United Kingdom Purpose The purpose of this Coded List is to provide a standard set of names and identifying codes for freshwater macroinvertebrates in the British Isles. These codes are used in the CEH databases and by the water industry and academic and commercial organisations. It is intended that, by making the list as widely available as possible, the ease of data exchange throughout the aquatic science community can be improved. The list includes full listings of the aquatic invertebrates living in, or closely associated with, freshwaters in the British Isles. The list includes taxa that have historically been found in Britain but which have become extinct in recent times. Also included are names and codes for ‘artificial’ taxa (aggregates of taxa which are difficult to split) and for composite families used in calculation of certain water quality indices such as BMWP and AWIC scores. Current status The list has evolved from the checklist* produced originally by Peter Maitland (then of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology) (Maitland, 1977) and subsequently revised by Mike Furse (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology), Ian McDonald (Thames Water Authority) and Bob Abel (Department of the Environment). That list was subject to regular revisions with financial support from the Environment Agency.

The wing stalk in Diptera is examined, and its structures are re-evaluated and re-interpreted. The non-homology of A2 in Tipulomorpha and “A2” in other Diptera is claimed. Some notes are presented on the higher-level phylogeny of Diptera, especially those concerning Tipulomorpha. The family Trichoceridae is restored among Tipulomorpha, and the Tipulomorpha are re-affirmed as the sister group of the remaining Diptera. The clade Anisopodidae + Culicomorpha + Bibionomorpha is suggested as the sister group of Brachycera.

  • Key to the Larval Stages of Aquatic True Flies (Diptera), Based on the Operational Taxa List for Running Waters in Germany
    Ann. Limnol. - Int. J. Lim. 2007, 43 (1), 61-74 Key to the larval stages of aquatic true flies (Diptera), based on the operational taxa list for running waters in Germany A. Sundermann1*, S. Lohse1, L.A. Beck2, P. Haase1 1 Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum, Department of Limnology and Conservation, Clamecystrasse 12, D-63571 Gelnhausen, Germany 2 Philipps-University Marburg, Department of Biology, Zoology, Marburg, Germany The aquatic larvae of the Diptera are often the most abundant and most diverse group of the benthic macroinvertebrate fauna. They are able to survive in and colonise practically all freshwater habitats, and some species can tolerate harsh environmental conditions. They are therefore both a qualitatively and quantitatively important group of biological indicators for assessing fresh- water systems. On the other hand their determination at the species level is very difficult. This is in part due to a lack of taxo- nomic work in the group, but also the absence of comprehensive determination keys, that meet the needs of water managers. As a result, the aquatic larvae of the Diptera often play a subordinate role in water management. In light of the EU Water Framework Directive the present work is a first step in improving the integration of the important group of the Diptera in water management practice: a comprehensive determination key, which is geared at water managers. The key includes 60 taxa, largely at the family and genus level. In contrast to already existing keys the present work tries to differentiate the taxa on the basis of simple and user-friendly characters.

  • Diptera, Brachycera): Athericidae, Austroleptidae, Oreoleptidae, Rhagionidae, and Vermileonidae1
    ISSN 1983-0572 Geographical Distribution of Tabanomorpha (Diptera, Brachycera): Athericidae, Austroleptidae, Oreoleptidae, Rhagionidae, And Vermileonidae1 Charles Morphy Dias Santos2 1. Agência de fomento: CAPES. 2. Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto, Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto, e-mail: [email protected] _____________________________________ EntomoBrasilis 1(3): 43-50 (2008) Abstract. The infraorder Tabanomorpha traditionally includes the families Tabanidae, Athericidae, Rhagionidae, and Vermileonidae. The new family Oreoleptidae was placed among the tabanomorphan, as well as some controversial groups as Austroleptidae and Spaniidae, but there is no agreement on the phylogenetic relationships of the groups considered as belonging to the infraorder. Here is presented the geographical distribution of the tabanomorphan families Rhagionidae, Vermileonidae, Athericidae, Austroleptidae and Oreoleptidae, followed by comments on the biogeography of each group. The origin of Tabanomorpha probably dates back to the early Mesozoic, during the Triassic or even earlier, which somehow explains its widespread distribution all over the biogeographical regions, pointing to a great influence of plate tectonics in generating nowadays distribution. Nevertheless, despite the initial attempts to solve the problem, the biogeographical evolution of Tabanomorpha is still scarcely known. In order to properly reconstruct its historical area relationships, every biogeographical analysis depends on up-to-dated distributional information, and, hence, reliable lists of distribution are a starting point to a broad comprehension of the evolution of life in space. Key words: Biogeographical regions, Diptera, geographical distribution, Tabanomorpha.
